Family vacation

We had a great stay at the house for our family vacation. The house with stairs and a loft are perfect for active kids and kids big enough to need some separate space. We easily walked to the beach every day and used the cart and toys provided. We would definitely stay again and recommend this house for other groups with bigger kids or teens.

Quiet Oasis for Family

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home! It is located near the great amenities of Oak Island and a short drive to other attractions! We also found this end of the beach to be quieter which was perfect for our family with little ones! The home came well equipped with essentials and beach items! Looking forward to returning to this beautiful home!

Great experience

House was perfect does our needs. Everyone had their own bedroom and space—we never felt cramped. Short walk to beach and quiet neighbors. We had coffee on the screen porch every morning. It was everything we were looking for. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful stay!

We loved our stay on Oak Island. The house was great and wonderfully located - just a quick walk to the beach. The owner was also incredibly communicative, and despite some out-of-their-control AC issues, did everything he could to make us comfortable, including personally bringing by a window unit when it looked like the fix might not happen during our stay. The home was well equipped, especially with beach stuff, and comfortable for 5 people. And we loved the game selection! Being able to play a family game each night was a highlight :)

Peaceful

Even with two rambunctious boys with us we still enjoyed a calm and peaceful stay . Loved how close we were to beach access and the home came fully equipped with all kinds of beach toy , chairs , wagons anything that you could possibly need. We loved not being so close to the hustle and bustle this year while still being able to get on the golf cart and go get whatever we needed near by .

Ward get together!

We had a great time in Oak Island! Our beach house was prefect! Furnished great. Everything you could ask for. Kitchen really stock well. Plenty of beach toys and chairs. Inside looked very beachy Great front porch for coffee in the morning. Quiet setting. But could walk to beach in 5 min, really you can. Full moon was an added bonus. We had family in three cottages, ours was best by far!! Street we were on was great for biking and jogging. Great place book today!!!!
